I'm going on an mb nostalgia trip and I don't like it.

Or maybe they saw people like Batty, OH, elph and froundland being assholes to everyone, and didn't want to risk the abuse.

This place was SUPER welcoming when I joined in 2004. Everyone was friendly, for the most part. If you acted like a bully or an asshole, you weren't glorified and imitated like nowadays, you were put in your place by everyone, because people actually cared about this place, not just using it as an outlet to get their jollies or harass people from the safety of a keyboard. But that was definitely a different age, as far as the intent goes.

I remember getting at least one death threat shortly after joining
It wasn't the welcoming atmosphere that had me sticking around. I'm not sure what it was, but I kept being attracted like a fly to a pile of warm manure.

When I joined, this place was still new and everyone was on a level playing field, so it felt more inviting.

The forum is OK.

Basically.

My life is pristine, and this place is a toilet. You all are my skin of evil.

I thought you were super depressed these days and avoiding your family to isolate yourself with depressing music?

I joined in 2011 and the place was full of *******s for the most part. I came back after a few years recently, and it’s atill mostly *******s.

But everyone has astoundingly great taste in music, and I gotta chase the dragon, so what am I gonna do?

Anyway. I like this place, usually. Just as long as I stick to the musical section. Some of y’all are scary.

Today's *******s don't long for yesterday's *******s quite like how the old *******s longed for the even older *******s.

TBH most of the old guard didn't have it in them to spiteful enough to truly be *******s. Many of them could tell a cutting joke but you knew it was all in good fun. These days it's all in good fun but the fun is in actually getting a reaction and the people who last on this site are the people who understand the difference between dislike and casual cruelty.
